Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup Recipe

How to make Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup (Malaysian style)

Things You'll Need:
1 Spring chicken or small Kampung chicken (note: do not use normal meat chicken)

8 garlic cloves (skin remove, crushed little)
12 Chinese dates (red jujube)
2-4 whole fresh/dried ginseng roots (soak in warm water if using dried). You can get it from chinese herbal store, or when you travel to Korea, buy from korean ginseng factory, is cheaper and fresher in Korea.

1 bunch green onion  

To Taste:

Sea Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

1 bunch green onion (cut to 2 inch) 
Gi zhi

Remove and discard innards from chicken - especially remaining liver. Wash clean well under running water. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside

Stuff chicken with half portion of red dates, garlics, and ginseng. To hold the contents in the chicken, make a deep vertical slit on the inner part of one drumstick, then insert the other leg through the cut. This way, you would not need to stitch or tie with kitchen yarn.

Leave the chicken in the korean clay pot. The best way to cook korean ginseng chicken soup is to use korean clay pot, you can leave the pot directly on the stove for boiling the chicken soup, serve hot once is done. The clay pot would keep hot and is heated-proof till last drop of soup. 

Pour water in a korean clay pot, put rest of the red dates, garlics and ginseng.

Boil the water over high heat. Skim and discard fats that are floating. Once boiled, turn heat down low heat. Continue cooking for about an hour, covered. 
  
Serve hot with korean white rice or japanese white rice. For a simple and healthy meal, you may add an organic fry veges - pak choy or choy sum as side dishes. add sea salt & pepper, and garnish with green onions and gi-zhi (chinese herbs).

If an iPhone gets wet will it ever work again?
In: iPhone [Edit categories]

How to save your iPhone when is wet?

V.helpful article

A:
Possibly, it depends on how much moisture the iPhone was subjected too. If it was dropped into the lake and went to the bottom, chances are it is ruined beyond repair. If it got a light sprinkling of moisture, it may have survived.

Normal everyday water is a conductor of electrical current - in electronics, anything with power applied, like an iPhone turned on (even in standby mode) all the electronics are still active ... water covering the plus and minus contacts of an electronic component will short it out and render it completely useless. There is a type of water that does not conduct electrical current - it is called DIW or De-Ionized Water - used in large power amplifiers to cool electronic components.



Here is an excellent blog on how to fix your wet iPhone (with references to detailed technical information). (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=416062563&blogID=435512784)
Well i dropped my iphone off a dock into the ocean water at night and came back the next day at noon to get it(it was pretty deep and it required some diving). It survived amazingly because of some blogs i read about how to save you iphone and the best advice i can give you is dry it off with the sun first then shake the phone to get rid of most of the remaining water,and dry it in a container full of uncooked rice for two days or so. Then i tried plugging it in and i could see the apple on the screen but it would turn on and off, so i did some more research and i read that you should dip it in 91% alcohol for some time. Instead i did a quick dip and put it in a bowl of a product called "damprid" for a night, then i dried it with a blow drier on the coolest setting for some time( i also reccomend the cans of compressed air that you buy in office depot) and i tried plugging it in again and it shows the sync icon and as far as i know its fully operational. It may have some issues with the battery, and some remaining haze below the screen but i dont mind . I hope this helps, good luck.


You should try Silica Gel Packets to dry out your phone. There was a good article on associatedcontent.com that explains how to dry a wet cell phone, iPods, or any electronics. You need to take the battery out of your phone and place your cell phone and battery in a zip lock bag with Silica Gel Packets. Silica Gel will remove all the moisture from the phone and its components, something air drying will not do!
I did this after my husband's phone went through the wash and it worked like a charm.

Just Google "Silica Gel Packets" and you will find several companies selling these products. There is also a web site called: http://www.SilicaGelPackets.com that has them.
